Your html comments are broken. The problem is around this area, if you remove the <!-- it all recenters but causes other problems. You should go over all your HTML comments above this section to make sure they are properly opened and closed.

<!-- 

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">

<div class="text"><!-->

Another way to avoid this problem is for example you’re trying to comment out the footer do this instead.

<div id="footer" style="display:none;">

Maybe try XHTML Transitional instead of Strict. When in IE8 if I turn on compatibility view the content disappears like you say.
Tell the client to try unchecking…
Tools > Compatibility View

get_bloginfo('template_directory');

I’m hoping this is your issue. It sounds a little different. Your webhost has a virtual directory you access for stats that doesn’t actually exist in your site folders?
When that happens WordPress htaccess rules look for directories/files, if they don’t exist it tries to load the WP page. They fail as existing because they aren’t really in your folder.

Try putting this before your WordPress rule in htaccess. This will cause access to /weblog to avoid the wordpress system.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/weblog/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>

#here is the default...
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

For letting me view the /stats on Dreamhost I have to over ride like this.. You can keep repeating that line with the OR to override what you need.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/stats/(.*)$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/failed_auth.html$
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
</IfModule>

WordPress uses full URLs in images and such in posts so they are accessible in RSS feeds. You could export the posts table from database, open in Programmers Notepad or some or text editor, find replace the URL. Empty the table and reimport it.

wp_list_cats is depreciated

wp_list_categories is the replacement

No. WordPress will redirect to the permalink.

tddewey.com is difficult to navigate the top buttons. If Im scanning left to right the word pops up for the item and covers the next one so i can’t hover to the next menu item.
